A throwback clip features activists like Latasha Brown and Tiffany Cross asserting that Black women are the "backbone" of the Democratic Party and demanding a Black female vice president.

They suggest the selection of Harris was a necessary move to avoid an "automatic loss" for Biden.
The Washington Post produced a video featuring prominent black women activists, including Alicia Garza and Sunny Hostin, demanding a black female vice president and Supreme Court justice. The video warns Biden that he "owes" black women for saving the Democratic Party. The hosts criticize this as "pick me" behavior, noting that Biden largely ignored the demands.
